Patricia Greene Crozier, age 82, of Millsboro, Del., and formerly of Newark, Del., was led to Heaven’s gate by an angel on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Pat was born on June 5, 1943, to the late Edward and Marie Greene of Chester, Pa.
Throughout her life, Pat had a special way of touching many hearts. She showed an extraordinary level of care and love, always putting others’ well-being first without a moment’s hesitation. Her strength and determination were truly unmatched, no matter what challenges came her way. And because of all that, Pat will be deeply missed by everyone whose life she touched.
Pat attended parochial schools and, after high school, married her soulmate, Ralph Crozier Jr. On August 6, they celebrated 65 wonderful years of marriage.
Pat worked as a retail manager and a district merchandiser for Revlon, but her greatest joy was raising her six children with unconditional love and support. She cared deeply for her family and enjoyed traveling, gardening, cooking, reading, everything Christmas, spending time on the water, and sending daily good-morning text messages to her family. Creative and artistic, she had a gift for making everything she touched beautiful. Pat was also a devoted animal lover, caring deeply for her many beloved pets throughout the years.
Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Marie Greene; her brother, Edward Greene (Rita); and her sister, Mary Dalonzo. In addition to her husband, Ralph Crozier Jr., she is survived by her brother, Thomas Greene (Diane); her six children, Gininne Halfen, Jill Crozier, Lisa DiPietrantonio (James), Ralph Crozier III (Michael Bouchard III), Eric Crozier (Diana), and Jessica Crozier (Kevin Maull); twelve grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
She’ll be remembered for her kind-hearted nature, her generosity, her unwavering devotion to those she loved, and the joy she shared with everyone around her.
